• Corollary: -
• Every Diagonal matrix is a square matrix
but every square matrix is not necessary
diagonal matrix.
• Every Scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix
but every diagonal matrix is not necessary
scalar matrix.
• Identity matrix is a scalar matrix as well as
diagonal and square matrix also.

ALGEBRA OF MATRICES
• EQUAL MATRICES: - Two matrices are
equal if their order and respective
elements are same. For example if: -
